Leadership Induction Whole School Assembly

Categories: Uncategorized

On Tuesday 23 February we formally recognised our students who have been successful in achieving a leadership position for this year, in a whole school assembly conducted remotely from our Performing Arts Centre with all classes viewing via Google Meet, along with parents who were able to attend online. Unfortunately, both Mr Tim Richardson, MP Member for Mordialloc and Mr Mark Dreyfus, MP and Federal Member for Isaacs, were not able to make it this year.  Ms Joanne Greenhalgh, Director of Senior School, led the assembly and I presented students with their leadership badge from the College and a formal leadership certificate from Mr Dreyfus. I am proud of the leadership structure we have in place at Mordialloc College, with many opportunities being available to our students. This includes School Captains, Middle School Captains, Year 12 leaders across a number of areas, House leaders from both sub-schools and SRC representatives from each year level, for a total of over 60 leadership roles. I congratulate all students who were prepared to nominate and go through the selection process.

The College community acknowledges the crucial role that leadership at every level throughout the school plays in continuing to provide a forum for student voice and providing opportunities for student led initiatives; in inspiring pride in the College and in reinforcing the importance of setting high expectations in everything we do.

In my speech during the assembly, I spoke about the most powerful leadership tool you have being your own personal example. I expect all of our student leaders to be positive role models, both in school and out in the community. This will involve leading by example on a daily basis through proudly demonstrating our agreed College values of Personal Best, Integrity, Respect and Responsibility in all actions and behaviours; and inspiring others to seek leadership opportunities in the future.
